Posted By simmons on May 22, 2015
Working for UNRWA in the Gaza Strip is challenging and rewarding. The security environment and the Israeli-imposed restrictions make specific demands on international staff. The Agency has an impressive record on protecting the security of international staff.
General
The Gaza Strip takes its name from Gaza, its main city. The territory has about 1.4 million Palestinian residents.

It is about 41km long, and between 6km and 12km wide, with a total area of 360 square kilometres. The border with Israel is 51km; with Egypt, 11km. The Mediterranean coastline is 40km. The terrain is flat to rolling with a sand- and dune-covered coastal plain.
Climate
The Gaza Strip has a temperate climate, with mild winters, and dry, hot summers subject to drought.
People
The principal ethnic majority are the Palestinian Arabs, who account for 99 per cent of the population. The people of Gaza are welcoming and warm to visitors.
